The Collins Family (Merrill & Weavers too!) - Part 1

Carri & Palmer had planned a vacation to CA and then to UT. Even though it was planned months in advance they just happened to come the week my Grandpa came home from the hospital and everyone came to say goodbye to him. We tried our best to spend time with my Grandpa and to still have fun.

Carri, Palmer and I went for a hike in Red Cliffs Recreation Area. We really didn't know what we where doing and first went on a hike to see some remnants of a Anasazi village site. It was ok but I was hoping for some wow factor to lure Palmer into loving Southern Utah. We walked back to the campground and found lots of people hiking back on a trail and they were all wet so we decided to see where that trail led and hit the jackpot. The trail followed the creek and lead to some awesome waterfalls and pools.

I didn't take my camera but Carri got some fun pictures of her and Palmer that need her to email me so I can add them to the post.

That night Carri, Palmer, Sam and I went to Ninja. Palmer was an exchange student in Japan in high school so I figured if anyone knows Japanese food it would have to be him. He said it was pretty authentic and told us some nifty trivia about the place plus the workers weren't even speaking Japanese, but Chinese GASP! I totally love Ninja and now I feel like it has some street cred from Palmer.
